I‘m embarking on a journey into #russianliterature.
I haven‘t read a lot of #classics outside of the Bronte sisters, but I‘m at an age now where I‘m constantly asking myself questions about life, love, good/evil, morality, etc. So I‘m seeking out novels that wrestle with these questions.
I‘m starting with #thebrotherskaramazov and then plan to move on to #annakarenina 📚.
Any others you all recommend? Any advice or thoughts are welcome. ☺️

Bookwomble Crime and Punishment is the Dostoevsky I've read and re-read the most. I'm probably overdue a go around 😏 4mo
BarkingMadRead This one was a lot. We did a buddy read and read a chapter a day, which made it a lot easier. 4mo
